I've just completed the first draft of my personal statement, but I'm still unsure if my overall topic is too personal or inappropriate.I discussed my mother's teen pregnancy and my experience in rural poverty and how it was a catalyst for my interest in justice and universal representation. I'm afraid that this seems as if I'm reaching for diversity points. I'm also a member of the LGBTQ community who was raised as a mormon until adulthood, but I did not include this is my current draft because I wanted to avoid too much discussion of adversity, etc. If anyone has any ideas or comments on a better approach, I am completely open to them. Thanks guys!
